How do I same my settings ?Tips

For instance, if I change the view of my bookmarks from the icon/thumbnail view, to the list/details view, how can I backup my settings so that this setting, and all my other settings, can be preserved ?

Unless you root, there is no way to backup settings. Without root, you can backup apps, but not settings.

Another question--what exactly does "sync" sync ?

Sync syncs whatever you have set to sync. (try saying that 10 times fast) If you go to Menu-Settings-Accounts and Sync, you will see all the things that are set to sync on your phone. My phone has gmail, Facebook for htc Sense, and Twitter set to sync.
